Hi ladies! Need some advice...
I have been successfully pumping and bottle feeding for 8 months now. My body is no longer producing enough milk and I am stressing out because I waited to start solids with my little one. a little because I feel lost. Now I sit here trying to pump every last drop for her night feeding worrying about what to do because she normally eats 7oz and I only have 4oz left. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I feed her organic oatmeal mixed with breastmilk but she doesn't seem to eat to much of it. I have tried butternut squash and she didn't care for that same with apples. Do I just keep feeding her the same things until she just eats it?

@thehowtohippie, yeah like the speed just doesn't go as fast anymore... today I had to purchase formula just in case... And I only use it if I have to cause I did not produce enough. Still felt guilty and sad and then I had to snap out of it and say hey I did it this long that is longer than I thought I could...
Hmm that's interesting. And it was working fine now it's not?
@thehowtohippie, they sent me a whole new pump. the motor part not the attachments.
@thehowtohippie, it is the ameda purely yours. @shaelin.briel23 I am going to try the cookies and tea! thank you!
if you're worried about your supply, try boosting it with Mothers milk tea and make you some lactation cookies! They work absolute wonders for me! The first day I tried the both of them, I went from 2oz. total after pumping after my son nursed (1oz each breast) and the next day after I had drank 2 cups of mothers milk tea and 3 lactation cookies, I was able to pump 2.5oz fro. each breast after he ate! It was fantastic!
@thehowtohippie, thats what I feel like it is... I have already had it replaced and at first it was great and not. even a month later it's back to me scrounging...
If you want to keep breastfeeding i would look up recipies for food that will make you make more milk. i know that oatmeal naturally helps you make more and so does brewers yeast. i have found a wonderful chocolate chip oatmeal cookies.
Can you afford a different pump? Even try a manual
